"The Ghost Dance emerged among Native American tribes in the late 19th century, particularly among the Paiute in Nevada.

The movement was founded by a Paiute religious leader named Wovoka, who preached a doctrine of non-violence and the return of the Messiah for Native Americans.

Wovoka prophesied that performing the Ghost Dance would lead to the return of the ancestors, the disappearance of the white man, and the restoration of Native American lands and way of life." (1/2)
